User talk:W99

Well, I've discovered that Wikipedia is full of edit-bullies without lives, so I won't be coming on here much anymore. That's fine. I have better things to do with my time than post on a website where I see that the majority of statements are completely false. There's no point in information if it's fake information, but I'm happy to let the bullies be in charge of this site while I'm out living my life.

I get really annoyed by busy-bodies who have nothing better to do than just go around deleting things on Wikipedia. I think it's better to create than destroy and I follow this principle in pretty much everything I do. Because of this, you will never see me deleting someone else's contribution (although if I know something to be false, I will change it to reflect what is true). I simply don't have the time, and even if I did, why would I want to? It only annoys people who are trying to help.

My article on legendary party boy Corey Worthington was recently deleted because apparently he's not notable enough, although more people have surely heard of him than Margaret Gill.

Please be aware that any external links I post ARE in accordance with Wikipedia policy. In other words, don't be a hater please. :)

Speedy deletion of Corey Delaney (party boy)

A tag has been placed on Corey Delaney (party boy) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 09:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello, W99, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, ~~and have been reverted~~. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Big Brother 2008 (UK) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 06:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Big Brother

See WP:LINKSTOAVOID #2, #4, #11 and WP:EL#ADV. Also the site you keep adding also links to copyrighted material that the site owner does not have rights to and infringes on Channel Four Television Corporation's copyrights. Just by WP:LINKSTOAVOID and WP:EL#ADV the site is not acceptable. Also removing external links that have no place on Wikipedia is constructive. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 07:08, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alucard. "Links to" is the key word here. Because the site does not actually have any copyrighted material on it, but rather simply references such material, it is not a violation of any law or of Wikipedia's policy.

The site in question has YouTube videos embedded in the posts plus links to a page where you can download past seasons of Big Brother UK. Even by if it references such material the site is supporting copyright infringement and can not be listed. Also fansites shouldn't be listed in the External Links section from my years of experience fansites are not usually permitted in an external links section. Honestly, I have looked at the site and it has in many posts YouTube videos and links to another site with copyrighted material. On those grounds alone it can't be listed. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 03:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, as you did to Big Brother 2008 (UK), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well potentially being penalized by search engines. Despite several warnings and reverts and even markup requests you want to ignore the rules on WP:EL, do not add any external links to the Big Brother 2008 (UK) page.

External Links at Big Brother 2008 (UK)

The website you keep adding should NOT be added to "external links". Despite many warnings, and it being removed many times you still continue to add it. It is NOT the official site so please stop adding it. It will only be removed. 12bigbrother12 13:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I have just removed the link again. Please take the time to familiarise yourself with WP:ELNEVER thanks. Poltair (talk) 07:45, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ANI report

Hello, W99. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Darrenhusted (talk) 09:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator here, this is your final warning. Linking to a website providing complete episodes of copyrighted material (courtesy of YouTube or not) is clearly copyright infringement, so please stop, thanks. The next time you do so, you will be blocked. WilliamH (talk) 11:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
